Regular apps on Honeycomb... Do they work?

Bought the GTablet and its working good... Not sure if the screen is something that I will be able to live with. Do regular market apps work on Honeycomb. For example, I have NESOID (paid app) will that work on Honeycomb, same for say Nook reader app.

Some do and some do not. I have both too, the gtab is running stock froyo and the xoom is running honeycomb. Some apps work in both others will not due to them not being optimized for honeycomb. Others will work but you need something like the app spare parts to run in compatilibilty mode to make them fit the screen.

Gmail app from Tablets?

I have a EEE Pad Transformer and love the Gmail app. Is this available for the NC?

If you're running Honeycomb, but not if you're running 2.2 or 2.3. However, Kaiten and Maild are somewhat similar. I really wish there were good tablet email apps that worked well with both Gmail and Exchange 2010 on CM7...

First off, I'm jealous that you have a Transformer as well as an NC . Secondly, it is available for the NC as long as you have Honeycomb installed. I just learned this the other day myself; Honeycomb uses something called "Fragments" which allows for the diffferent columns. This code isn't built into any other version of Android. I was disappointed too when I first heard that it wasn't possible. The Honeycomb version of Android apparently isn't too stable because it's built off of the SDK and other random pieces of code from other tablets.

[Q]Looking for a full featured NFL app and SNES emulator suggestions

edit: it is ok to mention emulators, no? they are on the market...
Looking for an NFL app thats pretty full featured. Maybe live games or even a sort of taped viewing or dvr thing. Also looking for the BEST emulators, mostly Super Nintendo...back in the day, I would use zsnes(?) or snes9.
Which are the most highly recommended? And anyone have a good resource for things to make the emulator work? Thanks

You can find emulators there. They have a market like app you can use. Many devs that got booted or left google's market went over there. IMO, emulators by yongzh are pretty damn good. You have to get the app for it, I forgot specifically which one (in regular market) worked with the nexus s and the wii controllers with yongzh's emus. Nothin like some super mario world or donkey kong with a wii controller and the classic controller tethered to it. I don't think yongzh's apps are free but they will work and are worth the money if you're into some old school gaming.

thanks
ill pay for any app i like to remove the ads.
i bought a couple apps i dont even use just to support some xda devs, marinelli.tv for one. i like his hidden lock screen.(not a plug)

thanks! according to the site there...
*NOTE*: I am making this app free for download only for a limited period of time (eg. 2 weeks) to make already-paid Android Market customers happy. Thanks for the understanding!

I just got that last night, not terrible.
Are there some that would enable live viewing or clips of recent plays? 'They scored! I wanna see.' Then the app can play the clip of the td...maybe I should dev it.

Thanks. They all have a difficult time with y+b, like mega man x, mario world...

All the android emulators are pretty much straight up ports of pc emulators.
So whatever limitations those have, these have.
Is it a touchscreen issue? I've been wanting to get a bluetooth gamepad but haven't gotten around to it.

I noticed the only app of his he's charging for is n64oid. All the rest are free for now. I really don't like on-screen controls because they take away from the experience but what can you do? Either a Wii mote controller or a phone with a slide out keyboard are good to use with emulators.

Hard time running and jumping...any kind of button combo.
Someone wanna elaborate on this Wii mote thing or another control method? Thanks.

I forget the name of the app. It's one of the free ones. Search the market for wii or wiimote or wii bluetooth. I think the one that works, you need to go to the dev's website to see how to set it up and get it running. He has the info to get it running with snesoid. It won't work with touchwiz but it works with the nexus s.
Long story short, get the app. Get a wii-mote and also getting the plug in classic controller extension makes things MUCH better if you're used to the old style controllers. Plug the classic into the wii-mote and turn it on into pairing mode and turn on bluetooth on the phone. Fire up the wii-mote app on the phone and connect to it as per the instructions on the developers website. After making sure it's paired and on, start up snesoid and go into controls and start mapping the buttons for what is available on the classic controller. I did the wii-mote controller at first but there just isn't the right amount of buttons in the right places to play any super mario worth a damn. After the buttons are mapped, start the game and you're good to go.
Too bad it won't work with touchwiz, maybe a different emulator might, because it would be better for me playing it on my galaxy tab versus the small screen on the phone.
Go read the instructions. It might be a little fussy at first to get everything set up but it's worth it after you get the hang of it.
I just looked up the app. It's called Wiimote Controller

The Zoom and phone apps.

My wife wants a Xoom to play Bejeweled and solitaire on while on the doctors office. She has no experience with Android. I was wondering when she gets one of these will she be happy if she just used it for those two games? Could I find these type of games for the Zoom? I wish the market let you know what would work on a tablet and what wouldn't. I have a Samsung Vibrant that's rooted and running a custom rom so I am not totally dumb when it comes to Android. She asked for the Zoom but I am not so sure that the Ipad wouldn't work better for her. Any comments would be helpfull. I do plan to take her to Bestbuy and let her try both.

there is a knockoff bejeweled in the market that works and quite a few solitaire apps. Those two games would be available if she got the Xoom. If those will be her primary uses of the device, get her the Ipad. In the end, its most important that she decide. I love my Xoom, but an Ipad might be more appropriate for a casual tablet user.
'Keeping it real

Just a thought here but if she really does only
want it for those games have you considered
buying a lower end tablet?

Some 2.2.1 tablets on chinadeals.com under 100£ just placed order for daughters al let you know kk

Thanks all. She's kind of Motorola brand loyal and I think she will pick the zoom. Unless the Ipad is prettier to her. I thought about a cheaper brand but there are too many considerations/problems with the lower end tablets. What I don't want is something that will be a problem. I have a phone but would like a tablet to play with myself. I've researched everything from the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 to the Toshiba Thrive for myself.

Get her the iPad. It's simpler.

They just released an awesome solitaire HD game that works and looks beautifully on the Xoom!

Thanks again for the help. The Zoom has dropped in price quite a bit. That's one good thing about the amount of Android tablets out there. I've even found a website with disassembly of the Zoom and one selling a battery. I book marked both sites for sure. With my luck she'll pick the Ipad.

Xoom is only good if you root and install custom ROMs to speed the entire thing up (overclock, etc). For simplicity get the IPad. I have both a Xoom and Ipad. Ipad far simpler to use, more responsive with gyroscope, and screen is much better. There is definitely some annoying things about it however -- safari browser, lack of flash, app store where everything is more expensive. Ipad is pretty idiot proof. I'm a tinkerer, so I prefer the xoom, however each there own.

You know, with all the great apps that are available for the Xoom, you should get it instead of an Ipad. Your wife may think she just wants to play a few casual games but she may feel different about it later. The Xoom has a lot more capability to expand to her needs than the Ipad. Plus, android is just better...not for pod people. (IMHO.)

I honestly think that the Ipad would be the easiest for her. But me, I like to tinker so the Zoom or Galaxy Tab would be the way for me. Gonna try to get her to check out the 7 inchers also. Thanks again for all of your advice and info.

What did she end up going for?

Bejeweled 2 works fine on the xoom! Androids much better than the ipad, apple is for the herd.... wanna follow the sheep... get a ipod, ipad, iphone, applemac

[Q] DS7 and QIK and T-Mobile TV. Anyone get it working on 3.0?

Question. Since the upgrade to Honeycomb, I havent been able to use QIK (Which I her they charge for a month??) Qik said they dont suport honeycomb yet. Nor ICS. Also not been having any luck with that T-Mobile TV thing either. (MobiTV) Anyone manage to get any of those working on honeycomb? Bad enough I cant "Bill my t-mobile account" using honeycomb. The thought of downgrading however.. makes me shudder heh.
Also anyone ever see a Blockbuster App that works for any of our devices? Say them on the play market with horrid reviews. Wonder if this was only best on my HD2.
